AESA radars can of course operate like an MSA in theory. The fraud in this case is evident from the following facts:1.) The described radar modes are those already known from the APG-68 and other contemporary MSA designs.2.) Advanced functions such as cued search, "ping" mode etc. aren't mentioned.3.) Modes like RWS, SAM or DTT are not particularly useful on an advanced AESA system.4.) As an FCR for a predominantly AA optimised platform, the number of AG modes makes little sense and we know that the F-22 had no weapons suitable for attacking moving ground targets. GMTI/T or SEA modes make little sense and it's doubtful they have been developed, given these aren't mission roles of the F-22 (CAS, ASW).
